Yesterday's Condo

Cinco got my hopes up this morning with that nice drop at +3.75, but just burst my bubble at +5.5. I know it's not a full moon. Why are all our cats being so weird? I think he's been hanging out with China again!

The vet called about Harvey's BW. Bun is slightly higher than before, as is Creatinine. They aren't super bad, but higher than is desired. She talked about sub-qs, and I told her I don't know enough people to be able to give Harvey fluids! :o :lol: She said maybe down the road, if no improvement. I need to meet some body builders (or wrestlers)! She is going to start him on a supplement, and I didn't write down the name. DH will pick it up when he is in Sac on Sunday. She said it helps some cats, and some cats not, but it's worth a try. One of his liver values was slightly up, but the rest were good, so we'll just watch it. Everything else was fine.

We interrupt this condo for a backrub...... cat_pet_icon

Okay, we now return you to your regular programming.

When Cinco calls, his minion must answer! :lol:

Sasha ate three bites of A/D this morning :-D , then turned away :sad: . She did the same with the regular entree of the morning. I broke out the baby food and she perked up. I added some Taurine to it, and then I put in another supplement I found yesterday, The Missing LInk Ultimate Feline Formula . It contains Taurine, so I won't be putting both in at the same time. I only put in a little, to see if she'd eat it, and she did! I added more and she seemed more enthused than with just the baby food. She polished off half a jar, with the supplement added. Next I'm thinking about sprinkling it on cat food to see if that helps. I am keeping in mind the suggestion that Amy made that she might have developed an aversion to her previous foods, so I will be trying others, too. I am a very persistent person, and I refuse to be out maneuvered by one small, three-legged cat! :lol: :lol:

I got a PM from Dyana yesterday, telling me that ADW called to say they had gotten an unexpected shipment of syringes. I did not get that call, and it was too late to reach them (I left a message). Then I went farther down my e-mail inbox and found a shipping confirmation from ADW - they had filled my order! YAY!! I hope everyone that needed the syringes had the same kind of experience. A customer service rep just called, in response to my message, and I told her I'd gotten the e-mail. She confirmed the shipment and I thanked her profusely. She laughed. Can't help it. I was excited! :-D

Sending healing vines to all in need, and hugs to all their beans. :YMHUG: Prayers continued for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF, Lisa's DF, Elise's DM and Marje's DM. Still holding Dyana, Melinda and Pat in our hearts as they deal with the cat-shaped holes in their lives.

Hi Tricia! It looks like a very pretty blue day for Cinco:) :) I used to love blue days but I know that green is the aim. Still, better than the unmentionable colors, lol. Maybe he will surprise you tonight with a PJ party;) He knows how to get what he wants. I'm sure he really appreciates his "minion" ;)

You sure made me laugh on the visual of Harvey and fluids! You could always try the EZ IV Harness...I looked into it. But you'd have to actually get the needle in to get it to work, haha. I'm glad he is doing ok, and hope his levels will go down for you.

Sorry on the continued appy issues with Sasha. I hope the change of fuds flavors and/or the supplement will help and she'll be chowing down in no time! It's awesome on the syringes that you managed to get. I hope that you can find more...

Well, have a good one! Scritches to the kitties from auntie Rachel! And of course, hugs to you:)
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco AMPS 235 +3.75 123 +5.5 151

It looks like Cinco was teasing you about heading to the lagoon. I hope the supplement helps Harvey and Sasha will like some of the new fuds you get for her. I'm glad you were able to get your syringes.
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco AMPS 235 +3.75 123 +5.5 151 +7.5 191

Thanks for visiting, Carla. I hope you are feeling better.

Rachel, so lovely to hear from you!!! I hope all is going/went well with your move.

I sprinkled some of the The Missing Link supplement on the A/D food, and Sasha went for it! It was only a small amount of food, so I gave her more and she just skimmed the top with the sprinkles! Oh well, just getting a little in her her is good. She had another 1/3 of a jar of baby food, and 1/2 teaspoon of the Nutri-cal supplement, so we're doing pretty well for today.

Rainy, cold and windy today - love it. Tons of inside chores to get done. Hope everyone is having a good Fursday.

Hi Tricia,

You sound really busy. I'm glad that the supplement tastes good to Sasha! I checked the list of ingredients: it sure is packed! Rusty is allergic to many of them, so we couldn't use it, but it's good to know about. I'm also glad that Harvey is OK and just has to be watched.
Now, Cinco, your mamabean wanted to see green today, so maybe you can oblige tonight?

Enjoy your rainy weather!

Isn't ADW a terrific company? All companies should have such good customer care.

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty

Tricia, you are the only one I know who loves a cold,windy,rainy day- C'mon over to the Pacific Northwest- I'm happy to share!! :lol: :lol:

So I see I was way off with Cinco last night, well, that's a cat for ya! :-D Glad he is enjoying those backrubs, and enjoying life! Hugs to Harvey and glad to hear Sasha is eating! Tiger's BUN and Creatinine are being watched as well, so on it goes I guess... :roll: I had to smile reading your description of Harvey and subQ fluids as well!
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco AMPS 235 +3.75 123 +5.5 151 +7.5 191

Nice, easy day for Cinco...maybe stick around in those blues, little man?

I hope you don't have to hire a crew to do fluids with Harvey :shock: !! Would he buy into bribes? I've never been able to distract Trix with treats, but I know Marje used to give Gussie treats while he was getting fluids.

I'm glad you're getting more interest from Sasha...eat up, little lady - a full belly is a good thing!
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco AMPS 235 +3.75 123 +5.5 151 +7.5 191

Iz getting lonely in da lagoon....can you come and pway wif me tonight?! ~Skooter


Let's hope Sasha continues eating more and more :-D

Is it bad, I am kinda wishing I could see a video clip of you trying to give Harvey fluids after that description? ;-)

Hope you are having a great night!
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco AMPS 235 +3.75 123 +5.5 151 +7.5 191

Hey, Cinco. Whatcha got planned for tonight?

Glad to hear that Sasha's getting the habit of eating again. Of course, she's expecting lots of enticements from dabean, now. But it does sound like she's getting more food, nutrition. Good.

My Spike, although easy to fluid, was on some supplement for his kidney values. Several years ago, don't remember what. Worked great lowering his values. Hope it helps with Harvey...or put him in a Sumo suit, one of those inflated Michilein Man type deals, with a small slit for the needle. Still the idea of wrestlers might work, too.

Marilyn and Polly
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco PMPS 269

Thanks for stopping in, Ella, Ruth, Amy, Molly and Marilyn.

Sasha just ate a couple tablespoons of tonight's entree WITH NO SPRINKLES!!!!!! I followed it with a tablespoon of baby food, and she was done. dancing_cat dancing_cat dancing_cat Perhaps today's dose of Mirtz kicked in. Did I mention I gave it this morning instead of last night? She didn't seem to be hyper at all. Figures. Next dose I'll give her the 1/4 tablet the Oncologist prescribed.

Yes, Ella, ADW has outstanding customer service. I will definitely be shopping with them again. Although now that the syringes are going away, I'm not sure what I'll be getting from them.

Ruth, I have often thought the Pacific Northwest was the right climate for me. Now if they would just let a NASCAR track be built there, it would be irresistable!

Amy, Harvey accepts bribes, but he rarely holds up his end of the bargain. Gus was a sweet gentle cat, not at all like my Abyssinian Devil!

Molly, I'm sorry, but you do sound a bit sadistic wanting to see me trying to give Harvey fluids. Just trying to pill him is nightmare enough. Then there's getting Advantage on him...trust me, you don't want to go there.

Marilyn, you might be on to something! I have been known to use the cat sack to pill Harvey, so I guess It could work for fluids. Not sure how, though, since I'd have to unzip the back a little to get the needle in, and that would free his legs. I guess I'll just wait and cross that gorge when I come to it! :?

So now we'll see what Mr. Cinco has in store for us tonight....

Tomorrow is his three month recheck at UCD for the lymphoma. I'll be interested to hear what the Oncologist has to say about the report on his eye. They'll keep him around three hours, so I'll have to find something to entertain myself with. There's an Indian casino about half an hour away. I might just pop up there. It is my birthday, so I think I deserve to do something more fun than boring errands! We'll see.

I have to admit, I was a little sadistic when I thought it....kind of like a train wreck, where you don't want to look, but you can't take your eyes off it? However, the reasonable and nice side of me prevailed in the end....hopefully it won't come to having to give him fluids at all.....sending no fluid giving vines to Harvey!!

Pssst...Cinco....youz goin da wrong way....iz thought we were meetin in the lagoon....what ya doin' up so high?! Iz miss pwayin wif ya.... ~Skooter
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco PMPS 269

wrong way, CInco!! Come on back down into some blue. Maybe another back rub will do it!!

Great find with the Missing Link. I used to use it a long time ago but when we started with Dr. B, they get whole food sups and so don't also need the Missing Link powder. I really hope it will keep Sasha eating.

Harvey: the supplement is probably Azodyl? it's a probiotic. It does help some CKD cats; others it does not. Some cats, it just helps them feel a little better.

I do admit Gussie was one-of-a-kind (tomorrow is one year since he crossed :cry: :cry: ). We just gave him treats in the video....we never had to do it while we gave fluids. He just enjoyed the bonding time. However, we've had many cats that were not as compliant including our little Teddi Bear. Have you ever seen the {url=http://www.ezivharness.com/index.html]EZ Harness for Fluids[/url]. There's a video out there too and shows a pretty wild kitty!!!

Hope you have a great evening!!!
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco PMPS 269

Hey Cinco! I ran all the way up there this morning looking for you...guess you didn't find the note I left with the directions back to the lagoon? (and I even did them in Braille!) You started in the right direction but seem to be getting lost again...turn around buddy!! ~ China

Yeah on Sasha eating better!! I know that has to make you smile! :-D

Sending lots of good vetty report vines for Cinco's eye recheck....and a few "good luck" vines for you too...you're going to need them if you go to the casino..LOL
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco PMPS 269 +2 254

Molly, I wish Cinco was listening to Skooter, but so far so bad.

Chris, I don't think he found China's note. I'll have a look for it and put it under his paws! It was nice of her to come looking for him.

Marje, I've given him several back rubs today, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I guess he's saving it for tomorrow, when I need him to surf blue or even yellow. Yes, I think you're right about the supplement being Azodyl. If it's a probiotic, should I stop using the Total Biotic I'm giving him now? I have not seen the harness. I will have a look at it. Thanks for the link.
 
Re: 11/20 Cinco PMPS 269 +2 254

I'd check with my vet on the two probiotics. The Azodyl is designed to address CKD toxicities and so I think it's ok if he has both but, again, I'd ask the vet.

Thanks for mentioning my mom. She's doing better....she's at home now.

I also got my order fom ADW :-D
